As a Boy Scout I learned that if you coat your pans with a thin layer of dish soap before cooking the carbon will not build up on the outside of that pan. The small amount you get will come off much easier as the soap does not let it adhere to the pan.
Wipe a little dish soap around the bottom and sides before you put it on the fire. It will wipe off a lot cleaner and easy! Use to do that when I went camping years ago.
I have an All-American like yours, John. I don't know if yours came with a manual or not, but just a couple of tips--rub either some Vaseline or olive oil along the beveled rim of the pot before you put the lid on (gives a good seal), and when you tighten the lugs you tighten two at a time across from each other, then go back and check them the same way to make sure they are all tightened down. At least that's what the manual says, and I don't take any chances with pressure canning (grin).
Mr. JNull -- what a GREAT "research" video for all the prepper / homesteaders out there. I've been looking at those rocket stoves for just this purpose. Thank you so much for trying this out and taking us along.
If you have a presto canner with the pressure gauge you need to monitor... swap out the giggler for a weighted giggler. The regulator the canner comes with requires you to be able to adjust the temp... the pre weighted regulators are WAYYY more forgiving. (I set mine up to be a 12lb weight by adding a couple washers onto the 10lb weight so it is the perfect adjustment for my altitude... it jiggles from 12- 13lbs and works awesome.) Thanks so much for the vid J... I have always wondered if this was possible.
20 years ago this wasn't in your vocabulary....this is awesome stuff and coming from you its just real....I mean coming from someone real and not somebody's kitchen that's getting paid for this. Thanks...I appreciate you and where you are in your life brother...
Your videos are really great! What I like most about them is the fact that you speak plain English - get to the facts - and when you aren't sure, you say so - no B.S. but lots of information. Thanks Bud - keep them coming. By the way - thanks to your videos, I will be ordering a Silverfire Rocket Stove - I think that the Silverfire folks should kick you back a few Schekels!!!
Hey buddy, thanks for the entertaining youtube. We are into the country life as well. Before I use a pan for wood fire cooking I coat the bottom side of the pan with a thin layer of liquid soap: dawn work very well and greatly reduces the clean up time.
Canning an average of 1,000 jars per year we found various ways to solve problems we've had. Any cookware besides cast iron used on an open flame you can line the bottom with double heavy duty foil to save some elbow grease. I was also impressed with Buckrun11's suggestion to use soap will have to give that a try. Have to go getting ready to start deer season after I finish my Kangaroo burger. Thanks for a great video.
coat the bottom with Dawn or something similar, let dry and then cook with the stove....the soot will wash off easily and cleanly. Love your videos on the rocket stove use
I knew you could can these because there’s another person on RUclips that cans in a pressure cooker with an old fashioned pressure cooker, her rocket stove is made out of concrete blocks. Very awesome to know these can both be used .
i have water bath canned many times over a fire- and i knew pressure canning was possible if you could maintain temp and this rocket stove has now made this possible-- woohooo- this is epic--- thanks for do this test and proving that yes it is possible to pressure can on an open fire--huggs
Great video, John. You covered the one thing, I'd wondered about with the SilverFire Survivor -- pressure canning. Thought it would work with an adjustable weight regulator, without any problems. (There is one available for Presto canners, too.) Glad to know, for sure! Congratulations on receiving an All American. Big thank you to the person who sent it. Can't have too much canning equipment, when the need arrives. Like your magnet idea! Perhaps SilverFire will add one with a future upgrade. John, a suggestion. Instead of moving the canner, under pressure, use a trowel, ash shovel, or something similar to rake out the embers when the processing time ends. Several reasons. (1) Fully loaded canner is heavy. At least it is for old folks, like me. Risk too high that I'd drop it. If that regulator comes off, the sudden release of steam can cause really serious burns. (2) Heat up, exhausting, and cool down times are all in the calculation for processing under pressure time. While there is some allowance for variables, don't want to cool down the canner to quickly and throw off those calculations. Not only from a safe product standpoint. Potential for too quick cool down to cause contents of jars to overflow, preventing sealing. When canning outdoors in cold weather or when the wind is high, recommend removing the jars and setting in a towel lined cooler. If the glass cools too quickly can induce stress points. Can crack the jars immediately or cause them to crack with the next use, for example. Re: Soot - Use old rags, newspaper and the like to remove loose soot. Soot stains are almost impossible to remove from towels, counter tops and other places where stains are a problem. Next, I don't worry about soot stains on the outside of pots used over a fire. I know that some people like to keep them nice and shiny. But it doesn't hurt anything to let the metal darken with use. Similar to seasoning cast iron and carbon steel cookware. -- Just wipe off ALL the loose soot, then wash & dry as usual. No need to use steel wool, elbow grease, or harsh chemicals, over & over again, to hold these stains at bay. In closing, with my last question answered, plan to order the SilverFire Survivor today. Like the Hunter, very much & may order in the future, when budget allows. However, the Survivor best suits my needs at this time, because it is side feed. Thank you very much for helping me to make that decision. God Bless.
you mentioned this in your give away video earlier today or yesterday and I had been wondering about pressure canning on fire so I had to watch. An old camping trick is to rub soap on the pan before putting it on the fire. We always used a bar of ivory because it's what we took camping and what catfish will hit but I think just about any would work
Hi John, After I saw this video for the first time (and I have watched it SEVERAL times now), I knew I just had to have Survivor rocket stove. My husband bought me one for Christmas and I used it today for the first time to make some eggs for breakfast. It was awesome! I could not be happier with it. It is very efficient. And I will be canning on it eventually. I now just need to track down a fuel source since I live outside of Phoenix where there are not many trees and nearly no yard litter. Thanks for making this video!! I should have made a video response to you but I am too shy.
Just ordered one, you do a good demo, lol. Will be trying this as soon as the stove arrives. Finally able to can outside, something I've been looking forward to for a long time. All the best from out west.
I bought mine last week. It'll pay for itself in no time. I bought to cast Iron pans to go with it from Target. A 5 quart pot and a 12 inch fry pan with lid. Cast Iron evens out the heat better.
My friend John I don't have any videos up yet for you to watch. And I may do one to show you what I'm talking about. Old trick I used to show my boy Scout troop when I was a Boy Scout leader. If you wipe any kind of dishwashing liquid on the bottom and around the sides of your pot. And let it dry for a couple of minutes not dish soap it must be pure dishwashing liquid when you wash your pot in the sink the black will wash right off. Because it sticks to the dishwashing liquid that is dry God, bless you my friend
Great job man, you may want to double check the pressure - were I'm at it's 15psi for 90 minutes for meats. That is one awesome canner, looks like mine only smaller.
Funny, I was just wondering the other day if a rocket-type stove would work out for pressure canning. Great video, and now I really want one of these SilverFire stoves.
Ok here's a little trick I learned to keep your pots from sooting up. Or I should say to make them ez to clean. Wipe the outside with dish soap before putting a fire to it. It makes clean up a snap. And you'll have nice shiny pots and pans. Either that or have stuff you use over a fire ,and stuff that stays in the house.
Hey John. I use my camping pans and pots a lot. What I do is when they are clean I will take and rub a thin layer of dish soap on them. "The part that will come in contact with the fire." Yes they get totally black and nasty looking but it will just wash right off. I would not hessitate if needed to grab one of me camp pans and use it in my home they are just as clean as the one I have in the house. I am going to have to look into getting one of those Silver Fire Stoves.
Terrific video! We are learning how to live off grid if necessary. I noticed that you didn't seem to have any problem with keeping the steam pressure at 10 pounds. Did the unit produce too much heat and have your pressure drift past the 10 pound mark? I get that more fuel makes more heat. What do you do to slow down the burn.thanksMcD
Cool, I have a larger gasifier stove I was playing around with. And was wondering about that. Especially nice in the summer when you don't want to heat up the house.
The only caution I'd like to make is your pressure canner had the weight on it which is designed to give of excess pressure once it hits the weighted designated pressure with my canner which is a presto my weight does not give off excess pressure instead I regulate how high or low the pressure is by turning up and down my heat source. For folks with similar canners this might be dangerous it does encourage one to change canners so canning like that can be an option. Great video thanks so much jnull...
SJPrepper0569 You can order an adjustable weight for Presto canners. Configured to set it at 5 lbs, 10 lbs, & 15 lbs. Works great. If memory serves paid about $10 for mine. For the ease of use of the canner, it's worth 10 times that over a canning season. Suspect the same thing can be done with a dial gauge canner. First practicing a few times by canning water. (Good use for empty jars between refills.) Appears that by adding/removing sticks of wood would be equivalent to turning a dial. No not as convenient. Takes more skill, as does baking biscuits on a campfire. Thus, practice needed before attempting actual canning. And, this definitely isn't a "Set It & Forget It". Thumbs up on noting the caution, especially to those just learning to can. Hope everyone with a Presto will order the adjustable weight. Especially if they plan to use wood fire, regardless of the type stove used.
Coat the bottom of pot with a thin film of ordinary dish soap. When cooking is complete simply rinse of with water and dish rag, towel, etc. BTW....Love your videos!
Hi John What I use to remove soot is an SOS pad works wonderful for clean up. If you dont have and real SOS pad Med coarse steal wool with soap and comet will do the same thing. Thank you for you video.
Thank you jnull0, looking for one of them stoves. I do a lot of outdoor overnight shows, (renfaire style), and having a safe/inexpensive way to cook would make the show run easier.
Jnull as soon as your cooking time is done I pull the weight off so it cools quicker and the pressure drops fast.if its cold out get it out of the cold air.
I bought Krud Kutter brand at Home Depot. Works better than anything. I also rub a bar of Ivory Soap on the bottom before I start cooking That helps too.
Add a small amount of water to cool wood ash to form a paste. Use this paste with a scrub pad or wool to wash the pot clean. Dawn liquid soap also helps.
I bought mine last week. It fits up-side-down in a 5 Gal bucket for storage or transport barely. I've used mine in my little fireplace and that works good too.
I was wondering how you'd deal with temperature control to keep the canner from running dry. Apparently, you didn't need to. How much water was left if you can recall?
To get the black carbon to come right off your beautiful American pressure canner, just crumple up some aluminum foil and make a past of cleanser or baking soda or just use dish liquid and scrub off. It does not take a lot of scrubbing. I've also had great results with just water and aluminum foil:-).
good stuff John, I was wondering about that if you could can over a fire and not cut the heat back on it. I run two canners at once so that adds up on bills. Thanks, stay safe, prepare
If you have a washer barrel fire pit with grills on top, then yes, you can run two pressure canners at once. Takes more wood, but can be done. Hot water bath canning works better that way and especially if you are doing a lot of jars. Two rocket stoves would be better for two pressure canners. Use less wood and can get them both going at once so the timing is easy to maintain. And one does not need a commercially made rocket stove. Even concrete block rocket stove will serve you just fine. There are enough DIY rocket stoves here on youtube to choose from and they all are pretty inexpensive up to welded high tech expensive ones. Find what fits your budget and get cooking!
Not sure of anyone has commented but if you put a thin layer of liquid dish soap on the pot before you put it on the fire the soot will come right off.
As a Boy Scout I learned that if you coat your pans with a thin layer of dish soap before cooking the carbon will not build up on the outside of that pan. The small amount you get will come off much easier as the soap does not let it adhere to the pan.

I loved my Silverfire stove yesterday..today, even more! Thanks for proving that pressure canning can be done. :-)
The All American gasket free pressure canners are the best. And that video has to be one of the best videos around!!

Go to a cabinet shop and get their scraps. It's kiln dried hardwood. Not my idea. I saw it on engerneer775's channel.
I bought one of these and tried it last night, it was awesome!
Just ordered one, you do a good demo, lol. Will be trying this as soon as the stove arrives. Finally able to can outside, something I've been looking forward to for a long time. All the best from out west.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.....this is just awesome to know! Great job John!

That is awesome John, good to know and thank you for doing this video
Very cool to see this as I have a rocket stove and have wondered if this would work for pressure canning. Thank you for doing this!
Good job John. I'm planning on using my Silverfire Survivor for my next canning project.
Newspaper works wonderful we have a glass surround fireplace and I clean them with newspaper take the stuff right off.

Great demo. I have to get one of these stoves too!
Thank You for the Demo! I will have a SilverFire someday.
That stove is a must have !!!! Thank you for this !!
Coat the bottom of pot with a thin film of ordinary dish soap. When cooking is complete simply rinse of with water and dish rag, towel, etc. BTW....Love your videos!
Very nice. I was wondering if a rocket stove would take care of pressure canning. Had been planning on trying it. Good to see success.
Great j job ,just need to do 2 handle across from each other when tightening or removing . Enjoyed the video.
Hey John looks good bro.now you know you can do that.that stove is great.thank you my friend take care
Thank you. I really enjoy your silverfire videos
I have shared the links with several others.
Hi John
What I use to remove soot is an SOS pad works wonderful for clean up. If you dont have and real SOS pad Med coarse steal wool with soap and comet will do the same thing. Thank you for you video.
SUCCESS!!! Outstanding video, you just made my week. Thanks for doing this.
Amazing and TY for sharing J. This is good to know stuff.
Thank you jnull0, looking for one of them stoves. I do a lot of outdoor overnight shows, (renfaire style), and having a safe/inexpensive way to cook would make the show run easier.
It looks like you have more than the needed BTUs when you started out. After the hour mark, I think it sounded better.
Absolutely enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing this information...definitely going to look into that rocket stove!
Its good to know what you can do with what you got. Great vid bro.
I always wondered if this was possible, thanks for sharing!
Great job dude! I have got to build me one. Thanks for sharing
Thanks John.....Another helpful video....God Bless
Awesome! I have been wanting to try this! Thanx for sharing!
That is an impressive back up to a back up canner.
Jnull as soon as your cooking time is done I pull the weight off so it cools quicker and the pressure drops fast.if its cold out get it out of the cold air.
Cool where did you get the fire patties? I loved the video~
i always use a green scrubby pad to clean off the black crud when i have it on my stainless camp cup. works great
I bought Krud Kutter brand at Home Depot. Works better than anything. I also rub a bar of Ivory Soap on the bottom before I start cooking That helps too.
Add a small amount of water to cool wood ash to form a paste. Use this paste with a scrub pad or wool to wash the pot clean. Dawn liquid soap also helps.
I have to get that stove, it would be wonderful for camping too. Thanks John
I bought mine last week. It fits up-side-down in a 5 Gal bucket for storage or transport barely. I've used mine in my little fireplace and that works good too.
Thanks
I can't wait to try this on my rocket stove. I really like your videos. You are very cute too!
I have both of those on my wish list!! Great stuff!
woohoo!!!!! must get a rocket stove now! :D
I was wondering how you'd deal with temperature control to keep the canner from running dry. Apparently, you didn't need to. How much water was left if you can recall?
That’s what I was wondering… I’m getting ready to get a presto canner and I was wonder hey could you cook on a fire just encase
Miss your videos so much!!! Would love an update on you and your family.... maybe some coffee time!
Cover pots with tin foil, bottom and sides before using on stoves, no mess.
Once again...success! Keep warm man! God bless!
That is awesome! Can you give some more information on the rocket stove and where to get it? Thanks for sharing this.
canning out side when its cold like that seems kind of smart. the cold would make cool faster.
Thanks for the informative video, how much water was left in the canner after canning
Very good video.
Very nice pressure canner too!
Great video John,
To get the black carbon to come right off your beautiful American pressure canner, just crumple up some aluminum foil and make a past of cleanser or baking soda or just use dish liquid and scrub off. It does not take a lot of scrubbing. I've also had great results with just water and aluminum foil:-).
That was awesome!! Thanks so much for this video!
good stuff John, I was wondering about that if you could can over a fire and not cut the heat back on it. I run two canners at once so that adds up on bills.

great video... well done
Pretty handy info.
Nice job.
I have a canner like this and it states worse case you can use 000 steel wool and it will not scratch it
This is fantastic!!! Thank you!
Great vid. I can't believe someone gave it a thumbs down.
Very good to know JNull0. Thank you :-)
I'm going to try that with my presto 23 quart on a dakota pit with chicken broth. I can't afford that store bought rocket stove you've got.
Hi very nice work john ! i though you would have to use it at 15 psi for where you are ? but great video ! have a nice day !
Not sure of anyone has commented but if you put a thin layer of liquid dish soap on the pot before you put it on the fire the soot will come right off.
awesome john
